Falkener, Edward: Ephesus and the temple of Diana (London, 1862)

OF THE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS OF THE CITY. 65

perfumes, then an enclosure sacred to the Lycian
Jupiter, then the Bouleuterion, or council-house,
then another portico, called the Aristandrea, from
its founder, then a temple to Jupiter Soter, then
an enclosure sacred to Ceres and Proserpine, who
are called the great goddesses, then the Gymna-
sium, which, like that of Ephesus, is on the west
side, after Avhich is the portico of Philip, already
described.1 In a similar manner was the agora of
Elis surrounded by 'public buildings and porticos,
though Pausanias states it was of ancient founda-
tion, and unlike those of the Ionian s. He describes
porticos, separated from each other, but having
passages through them. That towards the south
was triple, and built after the Doric manner.
Adjoining this portico was the portico called Cor-
cyraica, built with spoils from Corcyra. It was
also after the Doric fashion, and consisted of a
double portico, with a wall along the middle, on
each side of which were statues.2 By the side of
this portico, but separated from it by a road, was
the Hellanodicon. Other buildings, which he de-
scribes either about the agora, or within its circuit,
were the tomb of Achilles, a splendid temple of
Apollo Acesius, a temple of the Graces, a temple of
Silenus, the sepulchre of Oxylus, and the Mansion
of the Sixteen Women ; and in addition to these he
enumerates a great number of altars and statues.3
